Abstract:
A sensitive spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of manganese in aqueous medium. The metal ion forms a yellowish brown coloured complex with resacetophenone oxime (RPO) in ammonium chloride and ammonium hydroxide buffer of pH 10.5. The 1:1 complex shows maximum absorbance at 380 nm with a Beer's law range of 0.09-1.7 ppm. The molar absorptivity and the Sandell sensitivity are found as 2.5 x 10(4) l.mole(-1).cm(-1) and 0.002 mug/cm(2), respectively. The stability constant of the complex calculated by Job's method is 7.5 x 10(5). The interfering effects of various cations and anions are studied. The present method is applied to the determination of manganese in some steel and alloy samples.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
